We need more people walking to provide exercise, improve the health of the community and tackle the obesity epidemic and related diseases. There are 1001 reasons why increasing the number of people who walk every day will make our community happier, healthier, safer, stronger and more sustainable – but there are also 1001 reasons why the number of people who walk every day has dropped sharply in recent decades.

We believe that increasing walking will require action at both ends of the issue: encouraging more people to walk more often as well as tackling the obstacles that discourage walking.
